Homebrew PCBs

Ok, I've found only one thing that could remotely look like a vacuum tube.
Night is falling and it's difficult to light the guts of a printer properly,
so I've used what I could and left the images in large format for better
clarity.

This is from the front of the printer, looking where the chariot normally
resides.  I powered on the printer and shut it off while the chariot was
taking a stroll to the left.

That is taken from the back side of the printer.

And that one follows the tube towards the rear of the printer.  It goes
under that white felt pad.

At this juncture (<--- I always wanted to use that word) I'm scared to tug
at that tube.  It appears to be snug in its position.  I don't know how to
easily get clear access to that cylinder where it is attached at the front,
and I'm scared to mess up that rear pad as well.

Resuming trying to clean the head, I have exactly the types of wipes
mentionned on that site...

Do not despair, check the vacuum tubing first of all, if it is well seated  
and not clogged.

Everything you do will help me greatly because this model is a likely  
candidate for me. If you are not able to clean the head i would not want  
to risk the same problem, so thanks for giving it your best effort.
